whether research qualifies as being exempt from having to obtain informed consent do they mean?
> I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask?
IMO it is likely to hurt more (in the long run) NOT to ask and find the way they see it is different from the way you see it...
>Would you like to argue that it should be considered research?
not particularly.
so long as they get a chance to make a determination one way or the other.
that way...
you are less likely to get into trouble later...
also.
i suppose there may be a slight chance that they say 'nope' you can't do it for some reason or another (that might not have occured to us...)
good to let them do what only they are supposed to do...
